Hi Marty,
Not to be concerned as I've learned over the years there is so much about 
photography that I don't have a clue about at times I've wondered how I ever 
survived as long as I have.

I suppose my lack of unknown quantities have been a blessing in a way, 
simply because not knowing the technical aspects as many others understand, 
my actions were and still are done by "gut feeling and simple visual 
motivation without thought."

But I do enjoy learning about the aspects as you've explained and find it 
very interesting, even though at times I'm still not too bright when it 
comes to understanding them. Probably because I've always taken photography 
as an "emotional visual action" and not technical.

Thanks again, as your last post put any doubts away forever and I shall 
carry on by emotion as though I never read any of it. :-)
